A panel of fundamentalist Islamic clerics has endorsed the candidate of the Muslim Brotherhood for president of Egypt, an attempt to prevent a split of the conservative Muslim voters. Despite the official unity, the presence of two strong Islamist candidates raised the possibility that the religious vote could be split, creating fierce competition with secular figures. One is former Arab League chief Amr Moussa, who is popular among many who fear a dominant Islamist influence.(AP Photo/Nasser Nasser, File)
